sound card

Like I said I am unable to install the drivers for my Strix Raid DLX sound card that I installed earlier today. Took me 7 hours just to get audio to come through the control box and then I lost it again. I have no actual control of the audio because the drivers from both the cd and website both...

Hello, I have a pretty weird question: Is there a way for me to test if the Asus Essence STX II is properly connected to my power supply? For some reason that 4-pin Molex slot is incredibly hard to connect with the female pin. I don't know why, but it seems to take unbelievable amounts of force...

Lately my Asus Essence STXII has been rapidly lowering the volume of the mids and highs when the bass hits, and then they bounce right back up in volume, with even maybe a bit of overshoot. I'm pretty sure it hasn't done this before, at least to the same degree. I'm using 4 year old ATH-M50x...

I've been getting into music production and my dad gave me this old MIDI expansion card for my PC that he payed a forture for back in the early 2000s. This would be great, but at the moment I've got a B-350 motherboard which has no PCI 3 slots and this is a PCI 3 card. This is probably not...

Hello, I have KZ ZSN PRO earphones. I'm listening to music from Spotify on my Lenovo P2 Android phone. My ears are so sensitive that I can't stand the disturbing distortion. When it is too quiet and I lowered down the volume, it is more unbearable. The hissing is less when I plug it to my PC...

I have an older PC with a motherboard that still has an old PCI slot on it. I only occasionally use this PC these days but I was looking to give it a bit of an upgrade here and there. I was looking into a sound card for it since the motherboard audio isn't that great these days. However, it's a...

I recently purchased a pair of 250 ohm headphones, I currently have a reasonably old sound blaster z sound card, whilst this is working fine with my headphones I was thinking about buying a desktop amp just for convenience as well as the fact I am looking to build myself a new pc in the coming...

Hi. I recently purchased a Beyerdynamic MX300 Gen 2, and I have been considering to get this: (Creative Sound Blaster AE-5 Plus) https://www.computersalg.dk/i/6358036/sound-blasterx-ae-5-plus-black. I'm just wondering if first of all; they would work well together, second of all, if it would fit...

I have HyperX Cloud Stinger which I'm using since more than 2 years, and thinking about getting a new headphone. Sellers are offering Razer Tiamat 7.1 V2 for less than 100$, but I'm unsure about their performance compared to the compitition in same price range. P.S: I dont have a sound card...

Hello everyone. I just bought an Asus Strix Soar sound card. I have installed Sonic Studio software and noticed a few issues that started happening with my microphone volume. Randomly when I talk louder, the volume automatically lowers down, as it can be seen through the software and in windows...

I have a pair of V Moda LP 2's, i love bass and nice crisp rich audio. I had that with a Blue Snowball for audio in Discord and other games. I thought getting Steelseries Arctis Pro's + the DAC and built in Sabre soundcard would be better quality, which they are louder, the bass is much cleaner...

Hi all, I recently purchased the Phillips X2HRs from Amazon. They sound great and the experience is fine as is but for games, some music, and even discord is a lot quieter than it was on my Corsair Void headset. I've tried reinstalling the audio drivers, fussing with the audio enhancements...

Hi all, I do not know much about audio, do these sound cards both have DACs and AMPs that perform similarly aside from the features? Are there any better, or similar performing external sound cards for a lower price? (USD)

I have a wireless headphone (hyper x cloud flight). It uses usb. Does it use my on board sound card? Or i have to buy a DAC that has usb so i can plug my headphones usb dongle there. Im planning to buy a good motherboard x570 that has alc1220. I just want to know if my headphones will be using...

Hello! I have an M-Audio Delta 1010LT PCI sound card (Here's a review so you can see it - https://www.gearslutz.com/board/reviews/715065-m-audio-delta-1010lt.html) which is in my now very tired Dell T3400 workstation, which since the upgrade to Windows 10 can't really cope anymore. I'd like to...

Recently I've been looking into getting the creative soundblaster g6. However I'm wondering, if it is possible, to run it both optical and by USB because my motherboard has a optical output but no input. I am only wondering about this because I've heard that it improves quality greatly if you...

Hi, I currently have a Gaming PC with a dedicated sound card, the Sound BlasterX AE-5 and a pair of Edifier audiophile grade stereo speakers along with the Sennheiser HD 600 headphones. I was wondering if it'd be worth it to get a high quality DAC in order to get a superior sound quality vs...
